Cambodia’s Makha Bucha Day Buddha (Theravada): March 30, 2010
Makha Bucha Day Buddha (Theravada) is a public holiday in Cambodia.
Theravada Buddhists countries, of which Cambodia is a part, observe the Makha Bucha Day, on the full moon of the third lunar month in the Buddhist calendar. The date of celebration may change since Buddhist calendar is astrological in nature which means the date of observations may vary depending on the position or sightings of celestial bodies.
Makha Bucha, or commonly known as Magha Puja, commemorates the act of 1,250 monks in paying homage to Buddha. Cambodia celebrates it on March while other countries such as Thailand usually celebrate it at the end of February.
